Hi Hams,

My contact information has changed recently, and rather than try to tell

just share it here:

    *(note the area code!)

    *(** It's Apt. "I" as in "India", NOT Apt. #1! **)*

*Primary Email*:

I was able to bounce a few packets through the digi on RF this evening
using 5 watts and a magmount on top of my yukon parked in my basement
garage in Sabraton.  Great coverage!

Out of curiosity what sort of hardware is the digi using?

Good to hear it's working.  Digi is a KPC-3+ attached to an Icom IC-25-A
(Circa 1982) mobile radio at 25W.  This is fed to a J-Pole at about 20
ft that has been in service since about 1995.  Probably will swap
antennas sometime later this spring although I might leave and put up
another one.

Randy,
It's definitely working great.  I'm heading north on 79 tomorrow
morning so I'll let you know how the coverage is heading that way.

Is there any chance we can update the settings to beacon local info
about the w8mwa repeater and the local echolink/irlp nodes in line
with the aprs local info initiative:

http://aprs.org/localinfo.html

It will really be handy for any hams from elsewhere visiting or
traveling through the area.

Thanks,

I figured some others on the list might find this software handy.  The
number of radios it supports is a bit limited right now but more are
being added:

The best feature in my opinion is that it supports linux.

Hello,

As some of you may have heard memtalkingmon the repeater about a inline receive adapter so as to receive Project Lifesaver devices on a regular ham band HF radio.

After further investigation, this idea is not going to be able to be done in a afordable manner.

Sorry guys
